The most important role of the "piling" technique in guzheng playing is to support and assist other fingers in strumming or some kind of regular movement.

In addition to mentioning the ring finger sticking, this sentence also mentions the basic hand shape of guzheng playing. Among them, the "four-finger hanging" clearly depicts the hand shape required for playing. Some people call this natural hand shape the inverted lotus flower, which is very figurative. From this poem, we can see the importance of the "pillaring" technique of guzheng playing to the performance of Henan zheng. It (piling) can ensure the stability of the playing state, ensure that the hand shape is not loose, and can also ensure the strength required for playing and so on. It can be said that if the Henan zheng does not have the "piling" technique of guzheng playing or using the sticks as the support for other playing fingers, then the hand shape must be scattered. For example, the movement of the metacarpophalangeal joint of the thumb is based on the staking finger as the fulcrum. The movement of the metacarpal joint of the big finger without a fulcrum is weak, just like the door leaf leaves the door shaft, it cannot move freely, not to mention the so-called so-called strength changes, etc. For the pungent and lively style of Henan tunes, there is indeed a destructive effect without stake support, at least the Henan style, the taste is not pure and authentic.

Although the "pillaring" technique of guzheng playing is a relatively ancient playing technique, it does not mean that it is old and worthless. In today's guzheng performance, hanging hand-playing has become a widely used performance method, and piling-playing has become a technique that is particularly emphasized in certain genres of performance, such as Henan zheng; Learn to tie the pile and shake, and then slowly learn to hang the hand, and gradually replace it.

This method of playing zigzag can be a stage that must be passed when learning to play guzheng, and it is also a skill point of playing traditional zheng music. The "pillaring" technique of guzheng playing can be used to fix the ring finger or little finger on the right side of Qianyue Mountain as a support. Sometimes the middle finger can also be used as a peg finger. In addition to being tied to the right side of Qianyue Mountain, the stake can also be tied to the string. In Henan zheng performance, there is a technique of wandering, which requires the fingers to move back and forth on the strings to match the movement and strength of the fingers and to achieve a certain timbre change.

In addition to the fast support and split of the big finger of Henan Zheng, which needs to be supported by stakes, we are playing some downward-progressive continuous support, shaking fingers, octave tremolo (octave hook, some genres are also called octave round tone), etc., Pile can be used. For example, when we play 1ⅰ ⅰⅰ (hook and split support) with the clip method, our middle finger stops on the upper string 2 of 1 after clipping, and then uses the middle finger as the finger to tie the pile to complete the playing of the support and split support . The playing of Tuo Pi Tuo also needs to be played by string clips.
